CDM Regulations 2007 |
|
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 places significant duties on those involved in construction work as well as requiring that certain documentation is in place at certain stages in the design and construction stages of projects.
The aim of these Regulations is to make Health & Safety an essential and integral part of the planning and management of projects and to make sure that everyone works together to reduce the risk to the Health & Safety of those who work on the structure, who may be affected by the works, or who will use it as a place of work once it’s completed.
On a construction project the key duty holders under the CDM Regulations 2007 are listed below. Their key duties are quite prescriptive and we would be delighted to discuss these in further detail during our initial consultation.
Designers Principal Contractor Contractors
There is also a requirement for certain documentation to be in place at certain stages of a construction project and these are generally as noted below.
Pre Construction Information Pack Construction Phase Health & Safety Plan Health & Safety File
Our philosophy in the preparation and assessment of these documents is to reduce bureaucracy wherever possible and that is also a fundamental part of the new Regulations.
We will be updating our website in the near future with more information and guidance on the key duty holders and their duties. Please pop back for more information.
However in the meantime if you would like to know more about the CDM Regulations 2007 please give us a call and we will be happy to discuss your duties and advise of the best course of action. Alternatively further information can be found on the HSE website.
